Significant progress has been made in the fight against pollution in Izabal Bay. An agreement has been signed with the local municipality to install 15 RiverImpact Barriers across key inflows to the bay, effectively intercepting waste before it reaches the sea. Additionally, the municipality will take responsibility for transporting non-recyclable waste to the Los Pinteros landfill.

This agreement marks a crucial step towards the protection of Izabal Bay and its surrounding environment. The barriers will play a vital role in reducing the amount of waste entering the bay, while the municipality’s commitment to proper waste management ensures that collected debris is handled responsibly.

Since its inception, RiverImpact has been a staunch advocate for the cleanup and preservation of aquatic ecosystems, working tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our waters. We have organized cleanup campaigns, collaborated with community groups, and partnered with other organizations to further our mission.

The agreement with the municipality is a testament to RiverImpact’s unwavering dedication to the protection of Izabal Bay. With the installation of these barriers and the municipality’s commitment to waste management, we anticipate a significant reduction in the amount of pollution affecting this vital body of water. Moreover, this agreement serves as a call to action for other regions and municipalities across the country to implement similar measures to safeguard their own aquatic environments. Collaboration between organizations, government agencies, and community groups is essential to achieving lasting and meaningful impact.

In conclusion, the agreement between RiverImpact and the municipality represents a pivotal move towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for Izabal Bay. The urgent need to clean up and protect our waterways is clear, and it is imperative that we work together to preserve this crucial resource.
